Theater is one of the beast things that has happened to me. Do it.

try hard, but minor in a proffesional degree (like some sort of engeneering) so you have a fall back just in case. remember, do what you love but don't go overbord, not failing at like and ending up in a dead end food job is worth the extra years spent at a job you don't love, but ensures you have the money and a good life to do what your dream it
